Old farts- are you sad to see the music you grew up with become irrelevant?

[Saint_Ann]

I play dead guy singing while listening to the radio.

 

[Harrypalm]

The music I grew up with will never be irrelevant to me.

 

[MrMakersMark]

Nah.
This is a false premise.

Music will always be relevant to whoever likes it or is inspired by it.

 

[Chernosoth]

Some of the music I heard then joined the ranks of the classics. Most of it can fade away with all the forgotten junk from any era.

New classics: Nirvana, White Stripes, PJ Harvey.
Bury and never hear again: Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Avril Lavigne, etc.

 

[Chernosoth]

Music that requires electric instruments is on its way out. Rap with some sort of DIY drum kit, handclaps, footstomps, etc. has a bright future.

 

[Saint_Ann]

The music I grew up with will never be irrelevant to me.

But it now only lives in your thumb drive. All that's out there now is foreign to me.

 

[Tigersman]

I enjoy that music from my teens and 20s is being used in ads and movies.

 

[Mo_Bandy]

I only listen to Diarrhea Planet and rap music.

I subscribe to Rick Beato’s YooToob site. He talks about the decline of music (he’s a recording engineer and his interviews with artists are first rate) in the industry. Some are long but hit on this topic. He has plenty of theories of why and it’s good insight.

Check out Beato’s interviews with all three members of the Police (especially the Sting interview) his knowledge of music and the music industry is unmatched.

Fast forward to the 21:00-23:00 to get to the meat of it…

One reason why I kept my Pioneer turntable and a crate of vinyl

Just sad the people today like a song and can't name one band member, not one drummer, lead guitarist, nothing, oh they know the singers name, front guys always get the fame, but the rest of the "band" na baba na, We had album covers to pour over while we listened, and learned about the bands.

 

[Hipshot1554]

Our music now lives again... in stupid commercials!

One of the things Rick brings up (not sure if it’s that clip I posted) is that albums were an investment. Not only monetarily but time wise.

You cut the lawn, got your allowance, pedaled your bike to the record shop, paid the man, lovingly unwrapped and put needle to vinyl, and as you mentioned, pored over the liner sleeves and cover art. You knew everything they let you know on those liner notes.

Now, you pay your $1.29 (if not Pirate Bay sharing) and that’s the end of that…

My childhood was set to The Beatles & the Stones. Later on it was Elton, Queen, Tina Turner.

I don't think any of those are irrelevant yet, I keep hearing young pop stars saying that the Beatles inspired them.

I've been watching Rick's channel for a while now. I agree, most of his interviews are excellent.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Nah.
This is a false premise.

Music will always be relevant to whoever likes it or is inspired by it.

The people who make the music I primarily listen to are dying off along with the people that primarily listen to it.

 

[Missmister]

Terribly so… nobody even plays real instruments anymore.

 

[likitisplit]

i grew up on classic rock which will never become relevant. today's mustc either country, rock, rap, pop is what is already rel...no it alljust sucks major dong. you can't name one group today that has had the hits, the success and or fame near equal to the beatles, led zep, the rolling stones. our old rockers are still kicking young ass.

 

[easyoff]

Classic Rock and Oldies will never die

 

[Hardguy6]

100 years from now people will still be listening to bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Who, Marshall Tucker etc..
